The Sleepover Club: Why Being 'Too Sensitive' Is A Patriarchal Myth

Have you ever been called 'too sensitive'? This week, we're picking apart the idea that sensitivity is a negative trait, and why we should all embrace being our messiest, most emotional selves. Though the idea of displaying sensitivity is often used against femmes when they project any sort of outward emotion; Ione and Olivia argue that being 'too sensitive' simply means you're in touch with your own emotions, the feelings of others, and the world around you.This week, the amazing Lowell is on hand to provide some much-needed tips and tricks to get you through the last stretch of 2020.The Polyester Podcast is brought to you by Polyester's founding editor in chief Ione Gamble (@ionegamble), and co-hosted and produced by Olivia Graham.
